The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I gotta go with the Steelers seems like its their destiny this year. AFC is immeasurably better than NFC, and Seahawks have a long history of choking. I think Cower is 10x the coach that Holmgren is (which is a big deal in football). Should be a really boring game with Steelers winning 24 to 10 and Hassleback throwing 3 picks.

It could very well be the Steelers' year. I'm not sure it's really Cowher, but the Offensive Coordinator is really looking sharp over the last two weeks in attacking teams through the air over the middle. The Steelers are actually looking similar to the 'Hawks in that they are demonstrating that they can't beat you in different ways. Roethlisberger is showing amazing poise, as is Hasselbeck. If the Steelers can win the line battle, it will probably force Seattle into making mistakes.

As for Seattle having a long history of choking - regurgitated media babble. They haven't played enough playoff games to have much history.

Well obviously I was exaggerating Cower > Holmgren, but I think Holmgren is over rated and I could have coached GB to a superbowl that year considering the talent on that team. The fact that Seattle hasn't played enough PO games IS evidence of them choking, since they have been preseason favourites for the last 3 or 4 years but have blown it every year and have choked in pretty much every important game they've played.
